FORT LAUDERDALE -- A proposal by beach-area residents to create two new seats on the City Commission lived only a month before meeting its death on Tuesday.

The commissioners, in a 4-1 vote, said they saw no need to tamper with the city`s 2-year-old practice of electing commissioners from districts. The system aims to give a stronger voice to minorities and the city`s west side.

The commissioners promised to redraw the four districts after 1990 census data is finished in a year or two.
